Viking dog Beowuff is all bark and no bite, a disgrace to the memory of his fierce ancestors. Beowuff and his bench-mate Arnuf find themselves washed up at the Sine Carne monastery where a peace loving colony of 'meatless monks' work the earth and brew meat-free mead. But the bewildered brothers are under attack from a ruthless pack of Dragon raiders - thieving heathens with the sniff of monk-gold up their savage snouts. Will this day be Order's last? Beowuff might sound familiar to history lovers, because his character echoes the ancient hero Beowulf (1000 A.D.), who appears in one of the earliest recorded poems in Old English. The second episode of an ancient saga for ages 7+. Find out more at www.mogzilla.co.uk

Industry Reviews

'Dogs, goats, Vikings, half-wits, monks, gold, and arrows - how could this book not be great?!! It is all about a dog called Beowuff who lives in Viking times. He finds himself becoming the hero he was desperately trying not to be. He ends up in a number of scrapes in an effort to save a load of monks who don't eat meat! It can have some challenging moments with difficult words but if you keep going it is a stunning roller-coaster of a book - sometimes, you are laughing out loud; other times you are on the edge of your seat with real tension. Some of the stuff I read gave me a great idea about what it would be like to live in Viking times (cold and hard). And I also learned not to eat yellow snow.' Cameron, (aged 8) for Young Archaeologists Club Magazine.
